International Russia/Ukraine Megathread V12

[Jesus H. Sherdog]

It seems it is okay when the US invades but not when Russia invades. Regardless of how you look at it, both countries invaded another country.

It’s not ok when any country does it.

I propose Russia does the same as America and leaves Ukraine then.

 

[San Marino]

Seems like the British are doing some new shit after looking at Ukraine's urban warfare.

British experimental urban warfare units? Is this a new concept for the British?
The American Army has trained on this for years. I did it in basic training, Infantry Officers Basic Course, and Ranger school.

That money could feed the hungry and end homelessness right?

The GOP would go berserk if we tried to take all that money and use it on the homeless

You do wonder what the aircraft' role was in this, i mean i doubt they would have intervened (aka engage Russian ships/subs) if the Russians did try to stop the tankers.
Just once again calling out a Russian bluff I guess?

I really don't want this question to be answered. But at this point, I doubt Russia may have the means to engage in a shooting match on the Black Sea and Ukraine.

From what i understand (anyone feel free to correct me, might be wrong on this) the Russian surface fleet is staying far away from Ukraine since the Moskva got sunk, basicly staying in Crimean ports.
Still, their subs should be more than able to strike the grain ships without risk.
Something tells it'll happen in the coming weeks (if there's no new deal) aswell.

 

[Ruthless Ryan]

that's what Jimmy Dore says

Brilliant analogy , however instead of blaming UKR for the money not being there ask yourself why hunger and homelessness was a thing in Jan 22 before the war started.

Surely homelessness has only started since the US started sending weapons to Ukraine?

 

[Ruthless Ryan]

If the U.S. didn’t spend this on UKR they would spend it on a different military item. There isn’t sufficient will in DC to end homelessness or hunger. The dollars are there.

Since I dont live in an imaginary world I will disagree with you. The world cannot sustain itself with never ending handouts....although things are trending that way.

Yes, homelessness and hunger started in Feb 2022 .

 

[Deleted member 585708]

Yes, homelessness and hunger started in Feb 2022 .

That's how the information is being presented - because surely Jimmy Dore isn't virtue signalling by using the homeless as a political pawn that he otherwise couldn't give a shit about, right?

Well the answer seems kind of obvious when we see how billions are always spent on useless foreign policy projects that will do nothing for the average American. How much was wasted in Afghanistan and Iraq? The same sentiment was used against the spending in those wars so Ukraine is just more of that wasteful spending.

Just out of curiosity, you actually believe that if Russia never started this war, poverty in the US would have ended in/after 2022?
